Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book addresses a broad spectrum of ages through practical situations. It is written from experience and provides thoughtful tools for managing parenthood. Because of the ages of my kids, I found the chapter on raising independent and responsible children to be of particular interest." - Miguel C.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

First, let me say - I didn’t set out to become a writer. I was too busy running — literally.

At fourteen, I was a competitive runner with my eyes on the finish line… until a friend (bless his clumsy soul) accidentally shattered my knee and my athletic dreams in one fell swoop. Overnight, I went from racing tracks to lying flat on my back, trapped beneath a fortress of blankets and a towering stack of Harlequin romances.

My dad took one look at those bodice-rippers scattered across my bed, said nothing, and disappeared — only to return moments later, drop a book onto my lap, and declare: “You need to broaden your reading horizons.” The book was Iceberg by Clive Cussler. And just like that, my fate was sealed. Dirk Pitt became my new hero. Adventure, mystery, danger — all danced off the page and straight into my imagination. While my knee healed, a new dream took shape: I wanted to whisk readers away on thrilling journeys of their own.

So here I am: a writer fueled by a twist of fate, a determined dad, and the legendary Clive Cussler. And while I may not be sprinting down tracks anymore, I’m still chasing stories — and loving every second of the race.​

It means the world to have you here with me. May my stories spark your imagination as wildly as they've sparked mine.

    Realistic and timely insight into parenting nowadays. Some advice was a little odd, but much if it was very helpful.

    This book gave me a lot of good tips and tricks to try. I have a middle schooler, kindergartener and infant and gleaned some great techniques for each age group.

    I really enjoyed this book. As the mother of three adult daughters, I remember going through the difficulties of raising them from babies to adults. I wish I had this book at the time I started, and have seen the learning curve from then to now. I would highly recommend this book no matter what age your children are!

    I was disappointed there is no Table of Contents. The advice from this author who spells out her solid credentials early in the book, is sprinkled in a semi-organized way, yes. But it is hard to find except with the Kindle search tool. For example, I was most interested in tips on how to handle teenagers in the 15-16 age range. But with no TOC, there is no way to zero in to that except searching for teen then middle teen to learn that this topic is in “PART 4: Prepare to be hated Pre-teens/Teenagers.” The rest of the book is organized around topics with various ages sprinkled throughout.

    It’s useful if you have several children in so far as you can “see” various issues popping up at different ages. It has a helpful set of FAQS at the end, a good if brief section on four main types of parenting styles, plus useful list of references. But if you want a book with a Table of Contents and an Index to help you find information quickly, I suggest a different book.

    What a novel idea, a common-sense approach to raising independent, respectful, and responsible children. Nothing in this book is new, but rather an old school approach to child-rearing without the spanking. In a nutshell, "If you do this, this happens, and if you do that, then that happens." Unfortunately, in this new age of Liberal thinking where kids are the head of the household, it's doubtful the majority of today's spineless parents are capable of taking the necessary steps to successfully implement any of these strategies. Well-written and worth reading.

    Insightful book full of tips for parenting through all ages and stages of your child’s life. Some interesting perspectives. Quite a few grammatical errors throughout. As a teacher, they stood out to me. So I took away a star.

    This book will be useful for new parents. I like this sentence where the author said, "subjects who were angry had a higher risk for developing coronary heart disease."
